LightTable is a digital darkroom for RAW photography. Edit exposure and color, simulate photographic film, organize your library, and export finished photographs while preserving your originals. Processing happens locally on your computer.
Features include non-destructive editing, film simulation, ratings and collections, RAW development, and full-resolution 16-bit TIFF export with embedded color profiles.
This is the LightTable 0.5 beta for 64-bit Intel and AMD Linux systems. The strict Snap package has been exercised on Ubuntu 24.04 using software graphics. Physical AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPU testing is still pending.
Choose photo folders through the desktop folder picker. Direct access to removable drives is optional and can be enabled with: sudo snap connect lighttable:removable-media
Snap manages application updates. Keep a catalog backup before uninstalling or switching package formats. A catalog backup contains catalog data and edits; retain your original photo files separately.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 9 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 8 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 7 with the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Adding the optional and extras repositories is also recommended:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install LightTable, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install lighttable --beta
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
